    Hi everybody,

    Just a quickie as google doesnt get my question.

    Im looking to upgrade from a router to a spindle and looking at the one below.
    Its just a cheap air cooled spindle as I keep burning routers.

    My question is.....
    Would I also need a VFD?
    Or can the blackbox do the same job?
    Is there is any way to run the spindle without the extra cost of a vfd or vsd?

    Thank in advance for the help
    Damian

    Yes, you do need a VFD

    We have the perfect alternative solution though: RoutER11 CNC Kit - which does not need a VFD

    Ah thank you Peter!
    This looks good yes I see it is a 71mm which will fit my router holder.
    Shipping to Romania kills it for me unfortunately at 90 dollars put it out of my range

    Its not easy I can tell you that...its like a love hate relationship with my cnc at times lol

    Contact the partstore via Support > New Ticket - they know which distributors carry stock - might be able to find you someone on the same continent at least :)
